Hi everyone

Hello! I come from the tarantula hobby, even though I have been wanting a mantis for longer. I have one mantis right now. I'm trying to upload a pic but it doesn't seem to be working...oh well I'm still figuring out this forum.

Hi @MintyWood826!  Welcome!

Glad you're here with us! 

The tutorial is for computers and I'm on my phone, but thanks anyway!

I think I was just trying to upload too many at once.

He's a handsome mantis!

Photos on a mobile browser - the method is very similar.  I use Dropbox to store my photos. I dont upload to the forum anymore.

Welcome! 

Photo uploading is similar for mobile devices. You need to upload photos to a hosting site, like Photobucket or a Dropbox, first. Then copy and paste the 'IMG' link code in the thread for the photo to appear.

yup.

Make sure the "?dl=0" at the end is changed to "?raw=1" so it renders.

The way I did it, I just pressed 'click to choose files' and chose it from my phone's gallery.

Eventually, you'll consume your storage space. So, I started with hot linking photos off my Dropbox early on.

Okay, I'll do it eventually.

Thats what I said

Having to upload to Photobucket (or similar) is really time consuming for me but anyway I learned if you crop the photo smaller it helps save space too.
